I am an empire
A sprawling city of lies
In the blood of my birth, I was sanctified
You are a history
Not worth repeating
Doomed to crawl back to you, drown in your mire

I am pure chaos
A dark in the light
Blood through my streets, footprints a blight upon me
I am an explosion
Head of turmoil, an ocean
A roiling ruin of fury, your needs mean nothing to me

Is it too late to let the insects in
To eat away what could have been
Traces of me before emerge
Forget the myths you may have heard
I stalk these streets for black rotting meat
Dance to my plague, scour my empire clean
Define yourself in my identity
And when you fail, you are neither you or me

Bow before me, bring your ships,
On your knees, crawl to my door
I am vengeance, I am agony, hallowed, craving more
I am an empire
Sprawling city of lies
In the blood of my birth, I am sanctified

I am pure chaos
A light in the dark
Skin the bodies I’ve been, blast my being apart
I am your undoing
I am your final end
Doomed to crawl back to you, fall to hell, start again
